(Nanowerk News) For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world — Silicon Valley — bears its name. But silicon’s reign ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit - but not if the transistor "type" is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

An organic transistor has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system. The study of the transistor, based on ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

An alloy material called InGaAs could be suitable for high-performance computer transistors, according to researchers. If operated at high-frequencies, InGaAs transistors could one day rival those ...
